Description

The floral pattern seen on this lovely rug was woven in different centres and qualities around Western Persia in the first quarter of the 20th century. The famous town of Sarouk produced some of the nicest examples. Many of them were exported to the USA and came to be known as 'American' Sarouks. The finest group of American Sarouks came to be known as 'Mohajarran' Sarouks. Every aspect of Mohajarran Sarouk rugs was superior, from the wool quality to the fineness of the weave, and the finesse of the design. This rug fits the description well. The wool is soft and glossy, while the weave is fine and densely packed giving the rug a very solid handle. The pile has been clipped low revealing every aspect of the floral elements perfectly. The balance of the design is restrained and the limited colour palette, dominated by a dusky pink, is elegant. Cherished through the generations, this rug has survived in really excellent condition. Professionally cleaned.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Sarouk Rug to the 1920s.

FAQs

Mohajarran Sarouk rugs originate from the village of Sarouk and the surrounding Mohajarran district in West Persia, known for producing exceptionally fine, tightly woven carpets featuring complex floral motifs and high-quality wool.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on cotton foundations, employing asymmetrical Persian knots to achieve high knot densities and enduring structural integrity.

Authentication involves examining the hand-knotted fringe, natural vegetable dye variations, the density and flexibility of the foundation, and the characteristic fine weave and intricate floral medallion designs typical of the era.

An antique rug can be layered over neutral natural flooring or placed as a standalone anchor piece in a living room, study, or hallway to introduce rich colour, texture, and historical depth to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist washing when necessary, keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and using a breathable underlay.
